ROLL OF HONOUR OF FORMER
PUPILS OF BANFF ACADEMY
WHO FELL IN THE GREAT
WAR 1914-18 .
Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead !
There's none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away ; poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth ; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy and that unhoped serene
That men call age ; and those who would have been
Their sons, they gave, their immortality."
Rupert Brooke.
.
THE SUPREME SACRIFICE
BY JOHN S. ARKWRIGHT.
O valiant Hearts, who to your glory came,
Through dust of conflict, and thro' battle-flame ;
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved.
Proudly you gathered, rank on rank, to war,
As who had heard God's message from afar,
All you had hoped for, all you had you gave
To save mankind — yourselves you scorned to save.
Splendid you passed, the great surrender made,
Into the light that nevermore shall fade :
Deep your contentment in that blest abode,
Who wait the last clear trumpet-call of God.
Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still,
Rose a loud cry upon a lonely hill,
While in the frailty of our human clay
Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self-same way.
Still stands His Cross from that dread hour to this,
Like some bright star above the dark abyss ;
Still, through the veil, the Victor's pitying eyes
Look down to bless our lesser Calvaries.
These were His servants, in His steps they trod,
Following through death the martyr'd Son of God ;
Victor He rose; victorious, too, shall rise
They who have drunk His cup of sacrifice.
O risen Lord, O Shepherd of our Dead,
Whose Cross has bought them and Whose Staff has led-
In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing Land
Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.
Amen.

"Armistice signed." Our lips pronounced the words,
While yet our inmost hearts could scarce believe
That din of war had ceased, that German hordes
No longer could their boastful threats achieve.
Rejoice, exult, that after years of strife
And world-wide bloodshed, right has conquered might,
That peace once more has come to sweeten life,
And from a war-worn earth has banished night.
But ah, to win this end a price was paid,
Paid by the noblest, bravest of the land ;
For fathers, brothers, sons all-valiant stayed
With their own life-blood, the opposing band.
Then nations midst your joy be this your thought,
To worthy be of freedom dearly bought.
Ruby Dawson,
Pupil of Banff Academy.
